Today, as a condominium security guard, I had to enter an old lady's apartment to supervise the mandatory maintenance taking place inside. I commented on the lakeside view from her window and mentioned, "This is a pretty nice view up here isn't it?" It turns out that she's blind. FML

Today, my cousin and I were out on the boardwalk. I walked to the railing next to a man and said, "Great view isn't it?" Then I found out that the man was blind and had a seeing eye dog. FML
Today, while my mother's blind friend was waiting in our kitchen for my mom to come home, I thought it would be funny to talk to her in the nude. Turns out she's only blind in one eye. FML
Today, I was at my class's band concert. Before the curtain was raised, I helped haul the piano to a different spot so a girl who would've had to stand behind it could be seen. I said, "There, now your mom can see you play!" She responded with, "My mom's blind." FML
Today, I saw a woman in the neighbouring apartment taking a shower without pulling the blinds of her bathroom window. As a good Samaritan, I waved my arms to attract her attention that she forgot the blinds. She noticed me, opened the window, did a weird boob dance and middle fingered me. FML
Today, I was helping my elderly landlady (75 years old) carry in her groceries. She said "Thanks" and then handed me a notice of eviction. FML
Today, I tried helping an old lady with her groceries. When I asked if she needed help she smiled. When I took one of her bags she yelled. I didn't know she was deaf. FML
Today, while I was at my aunt's house with family, my grandpa needed to use the bathroom, so I guided him to it. There's a short staircase leading to it, and to my horror, he tumbled down it. I forgot he's going blind due to glaucoma and therefore couldn't see the steps. FML
Today, I noticed that my neighbor's house has a clear view of my daughter's bathroom. There is a telescope in his window. FML
Today, I found out that the blind man I've been helping for months at the grocery store by carrying his shopping around and stuff was actually faking his blindness. FML
Today, I went to the mall. While shopping in a store, a woman bumped into me numerous times. Getting annoyed, I turned to her and loudly exclaimed, "Are you blind?!" Turns out she was. FML

Not really your fault you were just trying to make small talk.

I'm sure that she is confronted with that situation a lot, OP. I bet that she just brushed it off. Ever see when Ryan Seacrest tried to high five a blind guy?

At least she's not deaf, right? She can hear the lakeside and all it's majestic nature sounds?
Calaraphea 16
I'm pretty sure you can't hear much from inside an apartment. Unless there's a huge tree outside?

You can hear plenty inside an apartment. I live next to the major road in the town. I keep my media center streaming music all the time since i would much rather hear music than trucks driving by.

yeeeah but lakes don't usually make as much sound as a major road.

I think you kinda missed the point #1...

I guess she didn't see the humor in the situation

Literally

At least she can't see who you are. I'd probably switch personalities and pretend to be someone else.

So many sexual innuendos here.
DubstepCrazyXD 11
How is this any where near sexual?
perdix 29
#11, you're not familiar with that old "I'll keep my eye out for you" joke? I would tell it, but that was the punch line.

How immature do you have to be to find sexual innuendos in this FML?
flockz 19
maybe "i had to enter an old lady."
DeidaraAkatsuki 17
#48 exactly
doctor_glitter 6
That's, like, one sexual innuendo though, and a pretty poor one at that.

Bet you were blinded by embarrassment...
NagainaFier 16
I too also find embarrassment creeping up on me and covering my eyes from behind! Glad to know I'm not alone.

That was awesome!

I bet she didn't see that one coming.

Eye am sure it was just a lot make out. There was only a sight chance that she was blind.

When life gets you down, grab a snickers! You didn't know..

I can think of more awkward situations...

I bet he felt horrible as well.

At least he wasn't trying to show girlfriends mother a picture his suit for prom on his phone and she scrolled to the right to find a picture of her daughter, naked.
JoeGrant 12
Don't worry so much, how were you supposed to know; just apologize, OP.
Kalipczo 21
She probably didn't take it too offensively, it's probably happened before.
